25 Things Our Residents Would Rather Do Than Mow the Lawn

We asked our residents what they'd rather do than spend their precious weekends pushing a noisy lawnmower around. Here's what they told us:

  1. Sunbathe poolside: Why not soak up some rays while sipping on a cool drink?
  2. Lose themselves in a good book: A little peace and quiet can go a long way.
  3. Challenge their friends to a friendly game of pool: A bit of healthy competition never hurt anyone.
  4. Host a backyard barbecue: Because who doesn't love good food and good company?
  5. Take a leisurely stroll through the neighborhood: A perfect way to clear your head.
  6. Walk their furry friend: A happy dog equals a happy owner.
  7. Tend to their garden: A little gardening therapy goes a long way.
  8. Binge-watch their favorite shows: Because sometimes, you just need to relax.
  9. Catch up on some much-needed sleep: Rest up for the week ahead.
  10. Practice mindfulness: Find your zen.
  11. Explore the local bike paths: Get some exercise and enjoy the fresh air.
  12. Have a game night with friends: A little friendly competition never hurt anyone.
  13. Learn a new language or skill: Expand your horizons.
  14. Volunteer at a local charity: Give back to the community.
  15. Shop 'til you drop: Retail therapy, anyone?
  16. Have a picnic in the park: A classic.
  17. Cast a line at the local fishing pond: A peaceful way to spend the day.
  18. Go camping: Embrace the great outdoors.
  19. Plan a weekend getaway: A little adventure never hurt anyone.
  20. Spend quality time with loved ones: Cherish the moments.
  21. Do absolutely nothing: Sometimes, you just need to chill.
  22. Catch up on household chores: Because no one likes a messy house.
  23. Meet new neighbors: Expand your social circle.
  24. Enjoy the peace and quiet: A little tranquility goes a long way.
  25. Play at the children's playground: Let the kids burn off some energy.
